Dancing on the edge of disaster

Getting really cranky lately. Feel like I got too close to the fire today and lost my eyebrows. Think I recovered, though. God, I hope I recovered. Maybe it’ll have long-ranging effects that I can’t even imagine. And damn Jonathan Cainer and his horoscope:

If you are not intending to do anything constructive to change a certain situation, you forfeit the right to complain about it. If you are intending to make a move, you are still well advised not to complain, as you will need all your energy in order to summon concentration and motivation. Perhaps you feel that you do not know quite what you are intending to do, because you are simply so overwhelmed by an intense set of circumstances. If so, allow me to enlighten you. You are about to create a change.

I hope the change is good (as opposed to, say, getting my butt fired). I think I’ve managed to defuse a bad situation that had been brewing (largely because I’ve been really bitchy for the last few months) between me and a coworker. I hope so. I don’t like where I was going. It wasn’t a nice place.I broke down and apologized and she accepted the olive branch. So, I hope it’s OK. Got to start paying conscious attention to what I’m doing, saying, thinking.  Don’t want to blow this job.

Today’s horoscope

From J.C.:

According to the experts, we do not move through time. Time (or at least the perception of time) moves through us. We stand still. Even our transition from one realm to another, from the physical to the ethereal, is ultimately only an illusion. Of course, you’ve got to be pretty high up to see it all that way. And I’m not suggesting that this weekend’s events will elevate your consciousness to such an extent. Still, though, they will open your eyes to the truth behind some other deceptive appearances.

J.C.’s monthly forecast for January:

I have yet to meet anyone who enjoys being woken by an alarm clock. It is a necessary evil that we all must endure. At first, we do our best to ignore the call. We fight for the right to lapse back into glorious unconsciousness. We resent the waking world that we are being urged to return to. Gradually, slowly – usually after a shower and a hot drink, we come to feel OK about the day. This month, you are going through a similar process of awakening. It may seem strange or undesirable now, but as Venus passes further through the tenth house of your solar chart, you’ll find yourself feeling ever more grateful for and excited by the awakening.

Today’s horoscope

From J.C.:

One step at a time. One day at a time. This is the advice they always give us. Time, though, is not necessarily linear. It may not even be circular. Some people argue that all moments of time exist simultaneously. I offer youthis perspective in the hope that it will help you relax about a matter that has been lately preoccupying you greatly. You want something to happen as soon as possible. It can and will happen, though as soon as possible. However, that may not be quite as soon as you would like.

Today’s horoscope

From JC:

Motorways seem very straight when you trace them on a map. When you view them from the air, though, you can see that they bend almost as much as a river. Only the ancient Romans ever managed to build roads that never deviated. You are not an ancient Roman and your road through life, which is an inner path, must be allowed to wander a little. Don’t question the convoluted approach that you now seem to be taking towards an important destination. You are doing the right thing in the right way – at the right pace.

Hrm. Interesting.

Today’s horoscope

From Jonathan Cainer:

Creativity is a wonderful thing. It enables us to turn the mundane into the magical. It opens a new window on the world through which the fresh air of new hope can come wafting into our hearts. Often, we associate creativity with art, literature, music or design but, actually, this precious force pervades every aspect of existence and can bring its influence to bear on every part of our world. You may have only one small, good idea today but it will change everything for the better.

Horoscopes du jour

From Jonathan Cainer:

What is the most valuable thing a human can have? Is it money? Is it power? Is it love? No. It is understanding. Why? Partly because, without understanding there can be no appreciation of any of the other factors. There can only be emptiness, confusion and futility. There is, though, another reason why understanding is so precious. If you can acquire it and apply it you will automatically gain all the money, love and power that you need. So now you know what to put first this year.

And from Astrocenter:

You are likely feeling confident, optimistic and enthusiastic today. You feel as though anything is possible for you. And, indeed it is. If you are feeling a bit of wanderlust, and are anxious to explore new places and meet new people, you may soon receive an opportunity to do so. Life for you is one great big adventure. You are fortunate that you have the sort of spirit that embraces it fully.

Today’s horoscope

From Jonathan Cainer:

Still sitting in the same room? Still thinking about the same situations? Still eating the same kind of food? Still getting phone calls from the same folk? Still wrestling with the same problem? Still up against the same challenge? Still looking forward to the same bright ray of hope on the horizon? Well, enjoy all that consistency and familiarity while it lasts. 2007 may, so far, seem similar to 2006 – but, really, the year has only just begun. You’ll soon have a lot of positive change to get used to.

And from Astrocenter:

In spite of your feelings to the contrary, you are bound to be successful. It is likely that you are involved in some sort of group project that is requiring a lot of time and effort of you. All indications are that those efforts will pay off shortly. Continue to work those long hours, even if it means pulling an all-nighter or two. In just a few months time you will have caught up on your sleep and will be rolling in the money.

Today’s horoscope

From Jonathan Cainer:

Remember that promise you made to yourself last night? You don’t? It must have been a very heavy evening. No doubt it will come back to you soon. Anyway, the heavens heard you quite distinctly. You vowed to dedicate the rest of your life to the pursuit of impeccable saintly standards in all your dealings and activities. You swore to eschew all vices and never again to be grumpy. Well, okay then, perhaps you didn’t go that far. But you know what? This year you may yet fulfil those aims!

9 Universal Year

N. tells me 2007 is a “9” year, which she says last occurred in 1998. 

I’m thinking she may be misunderstanding the “9 Year Cycle” thing. What you’re supposed to do is add the individual digits that make up your birth day and month to get a single digit that is your personal year number. To determine what year of your cycle the current year is for you, you add your personal year number to the individual digits that make up the current year and reduce it to a single digit. For example, my personal year number is 7. 7 + 2 + 0 + 0 +7 = 16 = 7. For it to just be based on the calendar year would be a global thing (since it would apply everyone currently alive on the planet), not a personal thing. Mind you, 2006 (especially the tail end of it) seemed like it was a Year 8/9, not a Year 6, so who knows. 

N. and I have the same personal year number. She mentioned that she’s undergoing a crisis of sorts as well, though we are manifesting differently.

[Added] Ah, I see that 2007 is a “9 Universal Year“, which is supposed to denote “a year of total and consummate housecleaning for the world, its governments, its corrupted administrators, all business and social organizations and each individual soul now sharing our planet’s energies.” So, I was right in that it’s a global thing. “2006 (an 8 Universal Year) saw the start or beginning of the pangs of distress that are about to move across the world and the individual landscapes of our lives during 2007.” Kind of a depressing outlook. And yet there does seem to be some stepping up of Mother Nature’s power on the planet. Something’s afoot.

Today’s horoscope

from Jonathan Cainer:

Life’s greatest gifts are the things we tend to take completely for granted. Only by their absence – or by the threat their departure – do we realise what they mean to us. Recent events have caused you to review your priorities and reconsider your plan. You are keenly aware of how much energy a trivial pursuit is taking and how little attention a much more serious concern is getting. Events this week may yet change that for the better.
